It all depends what it is... if it's HIIT you only need about 20 minutes at a time... but 35 to 45 sounds about right otherwise...

HIIT... High Intensity Interval Training...

Basically, work out to get the heart rate up by doing some cardio... 60 percent I believe is what you're after... then go hard for a period of time... one minute jogging, one minute running hard... do this over and over for about 20 minutes... as agamble suggested, do a search, lots of info on this site...
